Krytox GPL 206 Grease

Krytox oils and greases are high-performance perfluorinated lubricants used for a variety of applications. They are highly resistant to heat and cold and are chemically inert and non-flammable.

Krytox™ GPL 206 has a base oil viscosity of 243 cSt at 40°C/104°F

The estimated useful temperature range is -36°C to 260°C. / -33°F to 500°F

Note: The 0.5 oz Tube price includes free shipping via USPS within the USA.

KrytoxTM oils and greases are based on perfluoropolyether (PFPE) oils. This series of synthetic fluorinated lubricants are used in extreme conditions, such as continuous high temperatures up to 260 °C (500 °F), and will survive short-term peak temperatures of up to 270 °C (518 °F). Chemically inert and safe for use around most chemicals, these lubricants are nonflammable and are also safe for use in oxygen service. KrytoxTM oils and greases do not damage plastics or elastomers, nor cause corrosion to metals. They are commonly used as lubricants in aerospace, automotive, industrial, and semiconductor applications, as well as in solving many other routine lubrication problems. In addition, they provide exceptionally long lifetimes in sealed-for-life bearings and extend re-lubrication intervals in bearings that require re-lubrication.

Food Industry Grease

Use this grease in food-processing and preparation areas.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease’s consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter.

Grease that is NSF registered H1 and grease that meets FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 are rated for incidental contact with food. Synthetic-oil-based grease lasts longer than mineral-oil-based grease and generally withstands a wider range of temperatures.

Grease with PTFE thickener has good heat, moisture, and oxidation resistance.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Nonmelting grease can be used at temperatures above the maximum temperature briefly, but then will break down more quickly. Chemours Krytox™ GPL 206 resists aggressive chemicals and is long lasting with an indefinite shelf life.

They are commonly used as seal and o-ring lubricants and are compatible with all types of seals. For applications that require GPL 201 and an extreme pressure additive, we recommend Krytox™ GPL 216, or if potent anti-corrosion is required Krytox™ GPL 226

Why Krytox GPL 206 Grease?
New components often have organic rust preventive oils or greases on them to prevent damage while they are in storage before use. New bearings should be inspected for damage and cleanliness before use. The components must be completely cleaned of greases or preservative oils when using Krytox as a lubricant. Failure to do so could result in reduced bearing life. Bearing life tests on un-cleaned bearings have shown reduced life in high temperature, high-speed tests where the bearing was filled with a minimum amount of grease.

DESCRIPTION
The Chemours Company™ Krytox® GPL 100–107 oils are clear, colorless, fluorinated synthetic oils that are nonreactive, nonflammable, safe in chemical and oxygen service, and are long-lasting. The Chemours Company™ Krytox® is a perfluoropolyether (PFPE)—also called perfluoroalkylether (PFAE) or perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPAE)— with the following chemical structure:

Krytox Aerospace Grade Fluorinated Oils Chemical Structure
Krytox Aerospace Grade Fluorinated Oils Chemical Structure
The polymer chain is completely saturated and contains only carbon, oxygen, and fluorine. On a weight basis, a typical Krytox® oil contains 21.6% carbon, 9.4% oxygen, and 69.0% fluorine.

All standard grades of grease are thickened with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), whose formula is (CF2-CF2)n. This special high efficiency thickener has a melting point of 325 °C (617 °F) and has low molecular weight and sub-micron (0.2 m) particle size for higher performance in bearings.

Krytox® GPL 200–207 greases are white buttery greases with all of the same properties as the Krytox® GPL 100–107 oils that they are made from, but they are in grease form.

Description
Introduction

Krytox GPL 207 and GPL206 are a long-lasting, white buttery greases which are nonreactive, nonflammable, safe in chemical and oxygen service. It only contains carbon, oxygen and fluorine, but no hydrogen or silicone. It will not burn or support combustion. It is an ideal grease for vacuum parts which are exposed to air such as rods in vacuum loading locks, vacuum door seals, moving aperture holders and valves. Krytox does not degrade in contact with air, does not contain any silicone and is basically chemically inert. Krytox GPL 207/206 greases consist of Krytox perfluoropolyether (PFPE) fluorinated synthetic oil and Krytox 2000 polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It also exhibits excellent anti-seize properties. It can be used up to a service temperature of 288°C. Originally a Dupont product, now a product of Chemours. Krytox GPL 207/206 are alternatives for Braycote 803 and the OC Five / OC Seven greases.
Due to initial outgassing, it is recommended to pre-condition the grease under vacuum and operating temperature until the required vacuum level has been reached.

Typical applications include:

seal and lubricate in oxygen applications
seal and lubricate vacuum components
seal and lubricate load-lock rods
seal and lubricate vacuum feedthroughs
lubricate O-rings on vacuum systems
lubricate seals in aggressive chemical environments

New components often have organic rust preventive oils or greases on them to prevent damage while they are in storage before use. New bearings should be inspected for damage and cleanliness before use. The components must be completely cleaned of greases or preservative oils when using Krytox as a lubricant. Failure to do so could result in reduced bearing life. Bearing life tests on un-cleaned bearings have shown reduced life in high temperature, high speed tests where the bearing was filled with a minimum amount of grease. The preservatives coat the metal surface to prevent rusting so they can also prevent the grease from adhering, causing them to be thrown off by the action of the bearing. They could also oxidize and harden and can create debris which will contaminate the grease.
